Darnell Mooney's Volume a Concern Against Vulnerable Cardinals Secondary

Saturday, October 3, 6:36 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney has caught six of eight targets for 95 yards in three full games this season. With a healthy Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely, Mooney's target volume hasn't been high. In those three games, Matt Nagy's Giants offense ranks 28th in pass attempts and 30th in pass rate over expected, and with backup quarterback Jameis Winston in the lineup, the team may lean even more on the run. Mooney faces an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With Cardinals cornerbacks Will Johnson (neck) and Garrett Williams (achilles) ruled out and Max Melton (toe) questionable, Mooney and the Giants' receivers should be able to produce. However, the team's run-heavy system and Mooney's lack of targets should keep him out of fantasy lineups despite the favorable matchup.

Breece Hall News

Breece Hall Will Miss Second Straight Game

Friday, October 9, 6:59 AM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. It will be his second straight absence after suffering the injury against Detroit in Week 3. Hall had handled 51 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown through three games, adding 10 receptions for 102 yards. Braelon Allen did nearly all the work in his place last Sunday, playing 30 of New York's 32 offensive snaps and taking all 14 rushing attempts for 59 yards. He also caught two passes for eight yards, while Isaiah Davis barely saw the field. Allen should continue handling the majority of the backfield work against Cleveland and is worth starting in fantasy leagues where running back options are thin. The Jets managed only 32 offensive plays against Chicago, though, which shows how quickly things can go sideways for this offense. Hall remains week-to-week.
